WASHINGTON WV- An AgricuL ture Dept. production forecast in dicated Wednesday that farmers next year may again produce more wheat than is needed to fill market needs.

This would add still more wheat to record surplus sup plies. The forecast indicated that a crop of around 970 million bushels is possible next year, which would be more than 70 million bushels above prospective market require' ments. Next year's crop is the third consecutive one being grown under rigid federal planting and marketing controls. The controls were put on in an effort to curb production. On hand at harvest time next year will be a reserve and surplus supply now estimated at bushels which is more than enough to meet domestic and export needs for 14 months.

The department forecast the 1956 winter wheat crop at bushels compared with (Continued on Page 12, Col. 4) Moscow developed what of 400 demonstrators in downtown Amman.

Reid of Chicago, called in by authorities and who arrived here Wednesday morning. Parker, who had been in Des Moines, since his wife was buried last Tuesday was summoned to Lincoln and drove over by himself, arriving Wednesday noon. He made his confession after tak ing a lie detector test. Parker, 24, and his parents, a Henderson, Iowa, farm couple, were in Des Moines with Mrs. Parker's parents when Scheele Wednesday afternoon asked Parker to return to Lincoln.

The joint statement said Parker was questioned for a few hours. "Then five other persons were questioned and run on the lie de tector and released. Parker was then questioned briefly and confessed to killing his wife," the joint statement related. (Continued on Page 12, Col. 4) 19, Lake Forest, 111., and William.

Lausche announced Wednesday night he will seek the Democratic nomination for U. S.

senator at the May primary election. The 23-word announcement opened the way for a possible clash with Republican U. S. Sen. George H.

Bender of Ohio in the November general election. Lausche's declaration, handed newsmen without comment, followed by one week his decision to seek a slate of delegates pledged to him as Ohio's favorite son candidate for president at the Democratic national convention in Chicago next August. In Washington, Sen. Bender greeted news of Lausche's announcement by saying: "There's nothing I love better than a good fight." Asked by reporters whether he thought he could beat Lausche in a senatorial contest, Bender retorted: "I'm the senator. Can he beat me?" The announcement read: "At the May 8 primary on the Democratic ticket, I will seek the nomination for the office of United States senator of Ohio." The 60-year-old governor refused to elaborate or to answer any ques tions about his decision to run for senator instead of seeking a sixth two-year term as governor.

No other Ohio governor has served more than three terms "Don't ask me any questions," the governor told insistent news men who received the announce ment in his Statehouse office. "There is your statement; this is all I'm going to say," Lausche said.

I.T) A rush rescue mission consisting of 15 experienced skiers and a snow weasel crew, was organized Wednesday night to reach the scene of a reported "bonfire" on a high ridge near the Columbia River in the search for an Army paratrooper missing since Sunday. The renewed effort to find Sgt. John M. Horan, Maynard, whose Japanese wife and three children waited prayerfully in Seattle, was spurred by the report of Capt. Bert Paque, a Northwest Or- lent Airlines pilot.

It indicated the price would be $75 a share, but set no specific figure at this time. If that price prevails, the issue will sell for 750 million dollars, easily the biggest equity stock flotation by any industrial concern in history. The proceeds will go to the Ford Foundation, set up by the Ford family with the goal of "advancing human welfare." The tremendously rich foundation will reinvest the cash; its income then will no longer be wholly dependent on the Ford company's fortunes. Part of the proceeds from the sale of the shares will be used by the foundation when it distributes 500 million dollars over the next 18 months to colleges and hospitals under a program announced last week.

Two insurance adjusters gave the estimate of the damages caused by one of the worst fires in the history of this city of 50,000. Origin of the fire, spotted first by a cab driver about 4 a.m., has not been determined. AH 17 Aboard Killed in Florida Crash JACKSONVILLE, Fla.

UP All 17 persons aboard a Boston-bound Eastern Air Lines Constellation died when it crashed and burned in Wednesday's early morning darkness only a few seconds away from a safe landing. The toll pushed the number of dead and missing from three Florida crashes in the past three days to 31. Two Air Force bomhers went down Monday just outside Tampa when they collided in flight midway down the Gulf of Mexico coast, taking eight men to their deaths. A few hours later an Air Force jet interceptor and a bomber collided over Port St, Joe, 200 miles farther up the coast, with a loss of three lives and three still missing. The Constellation was about a half mile from the end of an airport runway when it struck the top of a clump of trees and plunged to the ground.

As the craft plowed along into the dirt, it demolished a chicken coop, an unoccupied house trailer, snapped off a large oak tree, and several tall pines.

(International Soundphoto) Empire A spokesman for the foundation said that while no assets have been earmarked to pay the grants, cur rent income itself would not be sufficient to make the payments. Meantime investment firms, re porting that anticipatory demand for the stock is almost epidemic, said buyers will be limited to 100 shares apiece when 700 underwriters across the country begin selling about Jan. 18. The Ford prospectus was delivered to the SEC at 10 a.m. by Ford lawyers.

Simultaneously, crews of Ford men here and in 12 other cities began dealing out copies to reporters. The disclosures which the 52-year-old auto company never was required to make while it remained a tightly-held family corporationincluded: The company "plans to introduce a new passenger car line within the next few years." It did not elaborate, but said the venture will entail "substantial because of outlays for styling, engineering; tooling and "the development of an additional retail dealer organization." The Ford family, which now enjoys 100 per cent control, will be reduced to 40 per cent voting control when the public is let in. (This would be more than ample, however, to give the Ford heirs man-agment control for years to come.)
